There ya go the whole game wrapped up in a nutshell the only thing missed above is placing seaweed on drying rack for rope, so you can make the bottle and other stuff.

We really need more things to do or to explore - Thanks

How to spear fish: Hold the LMB while carrying the spear so it is ready to use. Let go of LMB when you see a fish and the spear will shoot out quickly to get the fish. Some find it best to sit and wait for fish to come to them for spearing, others like to swim after them and spear. Find what works for you :)

How to not starve at first:

Plan A = eat fish.

1. Find a school of edible fish and place buoy to mark it. There are at least two schools in the starting area. (thanks for the idea frillen)
2. Every time you are sailing or swimming nearby the fish school, check for sharks. If no sharks, spear 2 fish. If still no sharks try for fish #3. Once sharks arrive they will steal all your fish and injure you as well.

Plan B = eat emergency rations.

1. Find a bunch of crates on the sea floor and mark the locations with a buoy. There are maybe 10 locations or so..
2. Once a day go around to all the locations and harvest the crates. Some crates have bandages or food inside. It's not too much, but it should be enough to keep you from starving. (thanks to ChrisChros for this idea)

You can use those for crafting bandages and first aid kits at the processing station.

How to: Save your game

There is no menu option to save. You need to use the bedroll in the starter raft or a bed once you can build them. Bedrolls/beds let you advance time to rest and save the game.

Just to let you know if you spear shark it will flee area for short time allowing you to spear 2 to 4 fish before shark comes back, i just spear it and have been able to fish out area, but it seems to take a while for fish stock to replenish this is what I have foumd anyway.

I got lost after I built my raft, how do I find my way back to my original spawn point?

Is there a way to pin this thread? It's really valuable for newbies like me. It's saved me a lot of frustration, and I thank everyone who participated.
